Multi-Contact
Cables
The cables
used for wiring the DC section of a grid-connected wind or PV system
need to be selected to ensure that they can withstand the environmental,
voltage and current conditions at which they may be expected to operate,
including the heating effects of both current and sun.
Multi-Contact
Cable & Connectors
 These
utilise double insulated single core cable together with polarized
weatherproof DC connectors to allow fast, easy connection of solar
modules, speeding installation time and eliminating wiring errors. They
are standard fitting on many PV modules and grid-connect inverters.
Special tools
are required for crimping the connectors to the cable.
We can
provide ready made DC cables fitted with connectors to customers
requirements. These are needed between the PV array and the DC isolator
and between DC isolator and inverter.
Simply tell
us the length of cable required and terminations required on either end.
A small labour charge is made for cable assembly.
DC isolators
can also be provided with short Multi-Contact cables fitted.
This then
allows the entire DC side of the PV installation to be completed by
making only plug & socket connections. Thereby eliminating possibility
of wiring error or accidental exposure to dangerously high DC voltages
during installation.
Note: These
PV connectors must not be un-plugged whilst under load. The load must
first be removed by switching off all DC & AC isolators.
Flex-Sol Solar Cable
 This single
core cable is specially designed for high voltage (1000 VDC max)
photovoltaic applications and is ideally suited for use with
Multi-Contact (MC) connectors.
Flexible multi-stranded tinned conductors
with halogen free double insulation. UV, temperature, oil, grease oxygen
& ozone resistant with high wear and abrasion protection. Temperature
range - 40° to + 90° C.

Array Output Cables
 These cables have a male
connector on one end and a female connector on the other. They can be
used to extend PV module output cables or cut to provide a male & female
cable from module to junction box.
